Strange Life of a Cat - Chapter 97

Chapter 97: We Got To Talk

Su Qu could tell what Jiao Wei was thinking. He scratched his head and said, "I'm only giving a suggestion, whether you believe me is up to you. "

"Well, Yi Xin knows more than me. He told me some stories about the cat. The boss's family loves the cat as you know, but the Buddha, Miss Zhao, and Professor Lan all hold the cat in high regard as well. There was this other professor who returned last semester after studying abroad. He was fired, and it had something to do with the cat.

"I heard all of this from Yi Xin, so I don't know the details, but if we're talking about Wei Ling, you could try to find him by watching the cat. He comes to look for the cat every once in a while. Believe it or not, I got admitted because of the cat." Yi Xin had analyzed the events prior to him being admitted into the program and came to that conclusion.

Jiao Wei hurriedly finished peeling his potatoes, then left for training.

Zheng Tan had no idea what was going on in Jiao Wei's head. He and his gang had to find new spots to watch military training. The students were starting to shoo them away whenever they came close. He had to move between training grounds now. It was fun watching the kids make a fool of themselves.

What?

Jiao Wei was still staring at him when they started eating. Zheng Tan was losing his appetite.

Jiao Wei had heard that you can tell what a cat was thinking by looking into its eyes. He didn't quite know what this cat had on its mind, what he felt that it was in a bad mood.

At the time, identification cards were not all-purpose yet and most students had a different card for different things. All had that picture. Whenever students went to the library, the librarian had to look really closely to make sure they matched the dark face in the picture. Those who were easily embarrassed were seriously traumatized by these events.

He yawned. The old saying 'fairness hid a hundred flaws' was true. It was difficult finding anyone good looking in this group of people.

In the afternoon, the students said go

odbye to their drillmasters. At those moments, people forgot how harsh their officers were and many were trying hard not to cry. Men were like that, they could fight one moment, then smoke, drink and talk locker talk together the next moment.

Even Zheng Tan was moved. He remembered when he started university. He didn't attend military training with the help of a fake sick note and some bribery. He regretted it.

Jiao Wei and his roommates watched their drillmaster leave before heading toward his family's restaurant. They planned to feast tonight and discuss their plans for the next two days.

Jiao Wei's parents edged them on. They wanted their child spend more time with his peers. They gave him some money and told him to go have fun with his friends. He hadn't gotten a chance to experience the city yet.

At night, the boys were having heated discussions. Jiao Wei's mind, however, was still on the cat. September was coming to an end, were those people going to show up again in October?

How would he do it?

People would think he was nuts.

The next day, Jiao Wei and his roommates had breakfast at the cafeteria. They planned to head out soon and bought transit passes already. Their route had been carefully planned.

"You guys go ahead. Wait for me at the bus stop. I remembered something I need to do. I'll meet you guys there." Jiao Wei said.

"No. You guys go!" Jiao Wei was gone before his roommates could say anything else.

"Charcoal! Wait up!" Jiao Wei ran behind the cat and yelled out.

Jiao Wei caught up with the cat but was suddenly at a loss for words. He looked around. They were not alone though the trail they were on was relatively remote. He said, "Let's find a place where we can talk."

Zheng Tan twitched his ears. What did this guy want? He had nothing to do so he decided to humor Jiao Wei. He thought of places where they could be alone and started walking. He stopped to eye Jiao Wei.

They didn't have to walk far. There was a flower bed nearby where they could talk without being overheard.

Jiao Wei mumbled some nonsense before finally asking, "Can you help contact Wei Ling?"

What did Jiao Wei want from Wei Ling?

He hadn't seen Wei Ling in a while. He mentioned when they last met he wanted to avoid military training because it would make him miss the army. Now that training was over, he should be visiting soon.

Zheng Tan didn't know what Jiao Wei wanted but they boy wasn't asking for much and he was willing to help. He raised a paw and looked at Jiao Wei.

What an idiot! Zheng Tan was speechless.

This was how he communicated with the kids. They would high five if he agreed to their proposals.

Jiao Wei watched him go, then looked down at his hand. Did this mean...yes?
